I am on fine but not sure if it really helps. Not sure if the side effects I think I feel (if they are real or just invention of my worried mind) really worth the effects of the medication. I can't say I observe a regrowth but still I think my hair kinda stop falling, which is good.
Another thing, I shaved my head this summer and the result was quite good, so I am slowly considerating to quite fine and just accept it...

I hope you baldies also took the opportunity to shave or buzz this summer, I definitely recommand

ive slowed mine down just by only shampooing every other day and taking lukewarm showers/turn down the temp when you are showering your scalp. i hope someone comes up with a cure for receding hairline soon, im dealing with this bullshit at 21. age?

[Anonymous No.12783905]

I've been visibly balding for about 4 years now. My hairline hasn't receded that much but it got super thin on top and especially at the crown, so everything longer than a few millimeters looks stupid.

I just keep it buzzed at 3mm, might have to go shorter if it gets worse but for now 3mm is fine. No way I'm fucking around with those meds just to desperately try and hold on to what's clearly a lost cause. I'd be lying if I said I don't care, obviously I'd rather have the option of being able to choose any hairstyle I want, but buzzcuts look pretty good on me and I'm in my 30s anyway so it's not that big a deal.

i dont get why he doesnt shave his head, for real you can picture him without hair and he would look alot better, he has a good head shape for being bald.
for real tho just keep your hair short and once you hit like a norwood 3 or higher just shave it if youre balding.
grow a beard/stuble if you have full facial hair

running a trimmer w/ no gaurd over your head once or twice a week probably takes less time then styling your hair everyday

21 years old, first noticed balding at age 19. Rapid thinning, probably a NW3 at this point. Crown is starting to go but not visible yet.
I tried finasteride back in February but quit after I couldn’t get an erection after taking the pill for a week or so. Didn’t want to fuck up my hormones any longer and was worried even worse symptoms could arise.
I’ll probably shave next summer. Gonna try bulking up until then.
It’s a shitty feeling that I barely got to enjoy my hair in my adult years, and I still can’t even grow a decent beard. Basically accepted that I’ll be alone in my twenties.

Anyone know if using antidepressants can cause hair loss/thinning? I was on Venlafaxine for 6~ months and noticed my hair thinning slightly at the start. Then it seemed a lot worse once the dose was increased. Just from googling it seems like a few other people have reported similar hair loss.

I had 3,200 FUE done by Dr Erdogan in Istanbul in early 2016

I can highly recommend the clinic. I stayed at a hotel prior to the surgery, then stayed at the surgery for 2 nights afterwards - they have their own suites, and they even bring food to you, pizzas or anything you want. They show you how to carefully cleanse the grafts and give you an aftercare pack.

What was your density in the donor zone? How many hairs in each follicle?

[Anonymous No.12793607]

>>12793582

That pic is not me

I think I have between 10k and 8k grafts left before the donor area would be depleted. I would say I have enough to ensure full coverage. It's so interesting how a man only needs good density at the hairline - the requirement just an inch behind the hairline is way less.

Total hairs 7400

2.30 hairs per graft

50 caliber

[Anonymous No.12793614]

>>12791990

You are a good candidate emotionally, because you're already living with a receded hairline. If you have a conservative expectation, your donor hair will go a long way.

After FUE you could have mildly receded hairline locked in for life, which is better than being bald. A mature hairline looks distinguished anyway. You are fair haired, which is another factor in your favour, because there's less contrast versus the scalp.

[Anonymous No.12793617]

>What happens to the rest of your hairline behind the plugs?

If you are on Fin or Minoxidil, the hairloss year by year should not be dramatic.

Let's say you had a transplant in 2018, then in 2020 or 2021 you sensed you may need another. You could buy time with the folllowing;

-cut hair shorter
-use less product, or a volumising product
-style it differently
-use one of those spray hair cans (getting a bit drastic)

Point is, you'd be in control of the situation and be able to plan for another procedure 6 or 12 months down the line. The hair loss will not suddenly come out of nowhere.

[Anonymous No.12793766]

>>12788169
I think so. My hairline was getting a little weird due to a combination of a thyroid issue, the meds I took for the issue, and an anxiety problem that affected me in my early 20s for a few years. My thyroid issue is in remission, I’m not on the meds, and I’ve learned to control/get over my anxiety and my hair looks better than it has in years imo. The average person probably hasn’t noticed much change but 19 year old me would probably be surprised that 26 year old current me still looks like how I do

Number one advice I have for you: do some sort of cardio exercise for 30-45min at least 3x a week (if you don’t already). Not only is this huge for anxiety and depression but it’s essential for hormones and shit for your body to function well (which includes hair growth). Human beings were not designed to be inactive

I got oily hair so I can see my scalp (+4 days without washing hair), but when I wash my hair I don't see any scalp, forehead is 6cm vertical, age 21, am I safe?

take fin man. i started balding bad at your age and now 32 and it saved my hair

>>12784344
get on propecia dude, there is no need to go bald at 18, that's a nightmare. i've been on propecia since i was 21 and now 32 with a fullhead.

>>12785399
a cure shouldn't be that far away anon. you should be set by the time you are 25 that's still young as fuck. research setipiprant.

>>12786284
soon bro. we're all gonna make it. maybe 5 years max before something is available in japan.

>>12786902
not really, and you should only be using that shit about 2x a week anyways.

>>12787314
take the fin and keep what you have. you might even gain some ground if you get on the big 3

>>12787902
youngfags always think it will be easier to bald when you are older. not really. it's still you. you're still losing your fucking hair.

>>12787941
get on fin + minox + niz shamoo asap. you are a good candidate man, you still have some hairline going.

>>12789292
take fucking finasteride you autistic faggot. why would you risk losing your hair??

>>12789516
it works if you catch it before NW3. bald rich men didn't treat their hair loss early enough.

>>12789836
it doesn't matter.

>>12790375
you can pull off the bald look, one of the very few types who can. as others mentioned trim that fucking beard and lose some weight.

>>12792157
you are just starting bro. could lose it in 2 years, could have it 20 more... i'd hop on some sort of med if i were you, you'll be really fucked if you go bald but look decent with hair.

>>12792856
you'll be wrecked if you lose the rest. you have the same head/face shape as me. save that shit with fin and grow it a little longer to shrink your forehead.

>>12793105
ditch the fucking glasses mate. also don't smile in pics you are actually somewhat aesthetic and can rock the short haircut

>its so fucking depressing that ive given up on looking presentable at all, i dress like shit and stopped eating (i used to lift and have a nice build, now im just skinny).

Ridiculous, anon. Shaved head + in good shape is one of the great looks for a man. Bald + skinny is not a good look unless you're into specific aesthetics. Get back in the gym.

>21 DYEL with noticeable hairloss
>mild thinning on top
>pretty bad widows peak appearing
>shit ton of hairs in the drain
>got on minox 2 years ago, slightly slowed down the hairloss
>got on fin 1 year ago, all my hair is a lot thicker and luscious, crown back to 100%, widows peak actually reversed but the new hair was still thin-ish
>started derma-rolling hairline as well 5 months ago, hairline hairs are short but waaay thicker

Now I'm 25, my hair has never looked healthier and my balding is practically gone. I even used minox on my beard for the last few months, went from patchy to lumberjack mode
Through this ordeal I also started working out 3x a week, cut out fast/junk food and smoking

Ironically my crippling fear of balding really changed my life for the better, anyone else know this feel?

down from snug in a 2xl to comfy in a XL, broad shoulders will most likely keep me in a large though

When I stopped taking fin, my libido went absolutely crazy for a week. I was was having wet dreams all the fucking night, and I was always waking up with a hard on.

[Anonymous No.12798526]

I'm only 22 and of course my fast thinning is scaring the shit out of me, but I don't know how to feel about finasteride. Am I supposed to take a pill every single day of my life from now on? Because that sounds a bit odd, I can imagine it will have some secondary effects in the long run. Is it the same with minoxidil, am I supposed to apply it every day or else my hair will go back to balding?

I just feel like it's a dangerous balance.

[Anonymous No.12798653]

>>12798526
Just take minidoxil. Applying it takes like 30 seconds, so that's one minute of your day in order to stop hair loss. When you get old enough to stop caring whether you're bald or not, you can just stop using it. For me, the side effects of finasteride aren't worth it. I'd rather be bald than having a 1% chance of losing my libido.

[Anonymous No.12798773]

I've been on Fin for over 10 years

Some days as horny as fuck. I think it's easy for ageing men to blame Fin for a diminishing sex drive. What if they're out of shape, or their GF is stale, or they're stressed at work?

Nonetheless I don't dismiss the reports entirely.

I'd be curious to go on Minoxidil for 6 months, come off Fin, and see what happens in terms of hair loss and energy

For me, Fin has possibly slowed my hair loss. I've had one FUE, and I think I'll maybe have another 4 or 5 years from now

I have used Minoxidil in the past, but I found it such a hassle to apply, whereas Fin you just pop a pill

Getting a big 'smiley' scar on the back of your head in 2017/2018 in excange for a few sparse plugs would be the dumbest thing.

Shiseido and Dr. Tsuji/Kyocera/RIKEN partner Organ Technologies are almost done with their cloning Trials.
>“We are currently pursuing research and development with a view to clinical application of hair follicle regeneration as the world’s first organ regeneration in humans in 2018”

Unlike FDA in USA, japs allow expedited research and quicker release to market. Rich people will just wait till this one is ready and drop 20-50k to get back unlimited thick hair.
Sucks if you are poor.

I was probably being over fussy

I would do one "line" of drops front to back down the middle, then another line just to the left and just to the right

Do you do it with a wet scalp?

I wash my hair every other day... I wonder if it would really matter if the application is only 5 days out of 7 (I'm feeling lazy or in a hurry)

Even if it's approved, it's a new technology with unknown effects on the long run. Maybe it's better than what we have now, maybe not. Maybe you get great hair but you turn deaf.
But you can never know the true side effects until decades have passed
